Goebbels would have been f*cking proud

"Thanks for all the killing and dying you mugs are doing for us. My bosses are very grateful ...and mind you don't drive over any of the poppies"

Correspondent Jane Corbin makes the hazardous journey to the frontline in the War on Terror, the remote and forbidding mountains along the Pakistan-Afghan border. This is where some of Britain's 7/7 bombers were trained, where Britain's top terror suspect Rashid Rauf was apparently recently assassinated, and where Osama bin Laden may still be hiding. She meets those fighting on all sides, from US and Pakistani soldiers to would-be suicide bombers.

So, unless you're one of those coincidence theorists or you're willing to believe that the British Prime Minister plans his overseas visits to coincide with BBC current affairs programming, what you have here is a clear demonstration of the State Broadcasting Company pushing out propagandist bullshit in support of Establishment warmongering, under the guise of impartial journalism

Manufacturing consent?

Not half

The economic shit is about to go down.

Some brown people are going to have to get fragged to take our mind off things.

Those spook-ridden c*cks*ckers at the BBC are doing their bit to help make it happen

And of course, the pensions overpay is 100% bona fide, and not some cooked-up work of fiction by the scum that serves the British establishment who don't give a flying fox about anyone or anything other than grand opening of the third temple.

meanwhile over on Wallstreet.Tuesday, December 16, 2008The Fed's New Strategy: The Kitchen Sink Interest Rate PolicyThe Fed announced their policy of establishing "a target range for the federal funds rate of 0 to 1/4 percent."http://bonddad.blogspot.com/This brings two points to mind:

1.) The Fed has no interest rate moves left. This is it.

2.) The Fed is terrified about the economy. And they have good reason:

Since the Committee's last meeting, labor market conditions have deteriorated, and the available data indicate that consumer spending, business investment, and industrial production have declined. Financial markets remain quite strained and credit conditions tight. Overall, the outlook for economic activity has weakened further.

"If Americans ever allow banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless."

Cutting interest rates won't change dick. It's all about money supply and the fuckers behind the insanity know that full well

It would be quite an amusing exercise to tell the tale of this economic apocalypse with a series of stitched together best bits from favourite movies; saving all the Charlton Heston stuff for the final act

just to remind ourselves of the official US death toll in Iraqso far from the following have been removed from the "Theater",,yes folks life is a show,,one long moving picture show and we are the actors,,,take it away "Shakey"ma man!

All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances,And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages.

BEIRUT, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) -- The announcement about Russian donation of 10 Mig-29 jet fighters to the Lebanese army was a surprising news which raised political, military and strategic questions, local daily As-Safir said Wednesday.

Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr announced Tuesday following a meeting with his Russian counterpart Anatoly Serdyukove in Moscow that Russia has agreed to deliver to Lebanon 10 Mig-29 jet fighters.

The Mig-29 would be a significant donation to the Lebanese air force which currently consists of five Hawker Hunter jets from 1950s and 1960s, and a dozen helicopters.

every single day without fail Iraqi civilians are being removed from the "theater"in their scores whilst fat cunt Brown and Bush ponce around,,,humanity thus far is a failed experiment.Here in the UK every asshole is worried about his or her financial future.Maybe some ww3 is indeed needed to shake the masses out of their dumb stupor??wipe out a few million,,,mash the fucked up infrastructure up and start again,,,,why should citizens in the UK or anywhere else for that matter enjoy a relatively cosy existence at the expense of others??The UK and US are running amok and noone seems even remotely bothered to stop them.

But hey lets not take the show too seriously folks.It is all just Maya after all.

I think the obverse is the more important, why should others not have a relatively cosy existence?

indeed why not???because we have too easy an existence at the expense of others I´d say.Through the banking scam and military might the majority of the planet has thus so far ie over the past 200 years been kept as slaves and servants to Euro/American needs.We plunder the natural resources and manpower for OUR benefit.

But hey the nature of the planet is change,,,enjoy the fuckin party.It will not last.Take your pleasure but pay the price comes to mind.

That tends to look at 'we' in the west as an undifferentiated blob, the same inequalities of political, economic power and wealth are found in each subdivision,from north london to the prison system ,just to different degrees. When the uk was at its imperial height, it was hardly an earthly paradise for the majority of its subjects.The only time there was significant change was in the post war period, when people became aware that there was an alternative.Unfortunately, now we have been taught there is none, that period looks increasingly like an aberration.
